>>68296990
It makes sense conservatives would have less evolved brains since they seem to be scared of every little damn thing, just like the cavemen.
>>68297189
Pretty much. Conservatives are just the cavemen in plato's allegory staring at a wall and screaming at shadows they do not understand.
Conservative is a glorified code for people who take way too long to understand things others get right off the get-go. After all, today's conservatives are just yesterday's liberals.
Less evolved men have a tendency to cling to what they know because they fear anything new. It's a clear display of being unable to understand the chaotic and ever-changing nature of this universe.

>After all, today's conservatives are just yesterday's liberals.
Except yesterday's "liberals" were Marxists, just like they are now. The claim that the progressive left is actually coming up with anything new is bullshit, their message has gone totally unchanged since the start of the 20th century.
Conservatism is the natural skepticism of new ideas, which is a healthy and not at all unreasonable mentality. 90% of new progressive bullshit is just that, bullshit. It's feelgood virtue-signalling nonsense not based on any rational understanding of the world at all. In many cases it is the outright rejection of proven systems for no other reason than the appeal of novelty to bored intellectuals.
Remember, Communism was a progressive ideology. Socialism still is the progressive ideology. These systems have been thoroughly and unequivocally discredited, yet they are still popular among the "more evolved" liberals. Why?
Because they are addicted to novelty, and cannot accept that there is no cure for the human condition. In their white-room mindsets, the only reason we don't live in a post-scarcity wonderland is that evil conservatives are too scared to try and achieve it, not that such a wonderland is impossible.
>>68297189
Oh this looks fun.
>It makes sense conservatives would have less evolved brains...
How do you rigorously define "less evolved?" Considering that many people change their political views over time, and that within family groups (with consequentially very high homogeny of alleles), you see differing belief systems, how does that square with the first assertion?
>>68300575
Being afraid of differences that probably odds are won't do much to affect you. Societal pressure, they may still hold those beliefs, but may never actually show them, due to the fear of being ostracized.

One of the problems that you have when you declare a portion of the brain as being simply "more primitive" is that their are also uses that affect higher cognition in a positive way.
In the article in the OP, the amygdala was simply stated as a fear center, which is partially true. However, it is also linked to improved threat assessment as well as reaction times. Not to mention, the amygdala is only one part of the limbic system which is believed to generate emotional responses. The author in the OP made an impossibly large leap of causation, I assume based on not being able to read the nuance in the actual medical studies.
One thing too, is that evolution is a process that occurs over vast amounts of time, and transition occurs in very small steps, without a directed end-point. The reason I brought up differing beliefs within families, was that it would make less sense for these changes to be "nature" if groups that share a multitude of alleles have such high variability. Also, there are twins that have differing political beliefs, but virtually identical physical substrate. That should be impossible in this scenario if we are looking at a causal relation between brain structure and political view.

>I want the government to tax you and give it to me.
The pique of human evolution!

>>68302589
Very perceptive. Causation does not necessarily equal correlation. I do however stand by the belief that the conservative brain at the very least is more fearful, which in some cases can be helpful. Why is it though, that the people in the US bitching about racism and wanting religion permeated throughout society, among other issues tend to be poor uneducated whites?
>>68296857

>>68303443
>I do however stand by the belief that the conservative brain at the very least is more fearful
This simply cannot be substantiated in any methodologically rigorous way.
>Why is it though, that the people in the US bitching about racism and wanting religion permeated throughout society, among other issues tend to be poor uneducated whites?
Even if we take your assertion as true, you are running into a problem of demography. Religious importance and adherence is actually larger in African American and Hispanic communities, but they make up a minority of the population, particularly if you consider media based visibility.
Large surveys have shown that these groups are not only more religious, but more apt to hold religion as important in society, and consequentially have far stronger repercussions on those who become out groups (say by becoming atheist).
I think you would make a better case if you considered religious adherence a product of pure social stratification rather than race.
>>68296857
What does this have to do with us? /pol/ is nationalist board. We hate cuckservatives.
>>68304343
I do agree with that statement. Generally the poorer tend to be more religious. And religion is typically considered a conservative ideal.
>>68304656
Not saying i agree with this, but nationalism is widely considered a more conservative belief.

Explain the French Revolution, or the various other left-wing nationalist movements that have occurred throughout history, then.
>>68296857

Politics is like a sphere when you go so far left you go right. The french revolution started out as a fine thing, then they let their fear consume them and it turned right-wing.

I don't see anything wrong with that statement. However, I think one should be careful with how far they take these sorts of arguments. Conservatives, in a general sense, do seem to value ideological purity a great deal.
However, the sense of purity also permeates the left, as one gets more and more liberal. It is extremely fascinating to see a sort of contortion occur in which many liberals self-ascribe to science as a determinant of actions to be taken, but then profess extreme skepticism at GMO foods, vaccinations, and medical/pharmacological research.
I'm not saying there is not valid cause for concern, but the angle that many far left liberals take is hypocritical when professing science as valid. Often times the lines of reasoning used to justify liberal's concerns are simply purity of the body and "being". It is not actually a small portion of the left who are entirely distrustful of drinking tap water without a filtering system.
The point I'm trying to get at, and there is obviously overlap in cases, but like with religion on the right, you have the same general poison on the left, but with differing manifestations.
>>68306406
I do not disagree with that one bit. I'm a liberal who actually despises the PC culture, and the general hypocrisy of the so called left. It limits our freedom of speech for example. But you are right, there is overlap is some cases
This is like some weird 1984 shit.
>Agree with the mainstream opinion we enforce, citizen, or you will be charged with thoughtcrime and setenced to an insanity ward.
I absolutely believe this will happen in western countries at some point
I also think that in 100 years autism will be the norm
>>68306850
I considered myself a liberal when I was younger, back when the ideals such as free speech were considered beyond reproach. However, that time seems to have passed, and the left is a twisted phantom of its former self, frankly antithetical to its own past values.
I think that with each year, I've lost a bit of the veneer of wanting to save the world, and I slowly came to understand more and more the words of my elders that I previously discounted.
My values now are far more conservative than they were, but they are now internally driven. I find that what is important in life, at the very core, are those people who are precious to you. That is my single driver. Selfish? You bet. However, I think one of the biggest perspective shifts for me has been that I determine what and who I value, outside of the yoke of society.
That said, I still don't care about religion or god one iota. I was a full card carrying fedora at one point, with copies of The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth signed by Richard Dawkins in my bookshelf.
One of the best lessons I ever learned, by a Dominatrix no less, was "learn to value yourself."
>>68308400
That's not a bad value to follow. Sometimes if you look out for others too much, you forget to look out for yourself.
>>68308748
Those on the left, on average, have lower levels of self-esteem and more maladapative behaviors and tendencies, as seen through studies. Now you could riposte with IQ correlations vs. political view, which may be valid. That does lead into the sticky IQ and race thing, though.
Again, this is not a reference to everyone, but those on the left should become self-actualized individuals before trying to save the world, instead of using mental tools such as fighting the good fight for "more disenfranchised" people as a personal salve.
"I don't know why a black person could vote Republican," is precisely the paternalistic and actually racist sort of viewpoint that drove me from "modern" liberalism. It stems from an arrogance that is seen as a virtue in denying personal agency.
>>68310016
That's true many don't look out for their own interests. I know the world is a shithole, so the question is why do I keep trying to do the right thing? That's something I don't have an answer to, it's just something i feel i have to do is do the right thing.
>>68310334
>I know the world is a shithole, so the question is why do I keep trying to do the right thing?
I had a feeling that was what I read in you.
Pic related. It was some /tg/ thing that just might fit.
>>68311003
That fits me to a t. I really do what I do, because I believe it's the right thing to do and we can't let evil win. Do you have a background in psychology, just curious?
>>68297613
There are three kinds of people in the world chuck. You're a pussy.
>>68311311
To an extent. I have a bachelors in Natural Sciences, but my main areas were biology and psychology.
I'm actually going to back to school soon for an RN, because try as I might to deny it, and as cynical as I am, healthcare and trying to save the world is my calling.
>>68311607
I figured you were disillusioned to some extent too, and i figured psychology or something of that style because your vocabulary was beyond that of even most educated people. I'm studying pharmacy for the same reason you are.

>>68311787
I've always had a very strong adeptness with words, less so with mathematics.
To be honest, I feel like psychology is mostly a waste of time, outside of qualitative research. As to dealing, and actually understanding people, I learned far more from my former Mistress than I ever did in a classroom.
Pharmacy is a good job. I did the whole organic chemistry and biochem thing, and that was enough of that for me. I've always enjoyed being very hands on with the medical field, doing firefighting and EMT since I was 16. Then again, part of going for RN is so that one day I can get my DNP and have my own practice. Also, most EMTs and Paramedics after 40 have no backs or hips, so yeah.
>>68312397
Same for me. Never been a math person really. I personally loathe organic chemistry, but it's something I have to do. I sometimes wish i could do more hands on work with patients though. Is nursing a good field these days?
>>68312615
For men, it is awesome. Men make up 9% of nurses, but roughly half of administrators and advanced practice nurses.
It is also a fantastic return on investment for a degree. A 2-year RN starts somewhere around $50k.
You also have a huge progression that is fine to stop anywhere. 2 year RNs work mostly in long-term care homes, 4 year is required for a lot of hospital hires, then masters+ and you can write your own scripts, and even open your own clinic if you go into nurse practitioner. Dr. title for DNP is a bonus.
There is also the holy 3x12 hour work week in hospitals. Obviously this comes with seniority, but 4 days off. That is some work life balance.
A nice part for me is that I love the ambulance, and still want to volunteer. As an RN you effectively get paramedic for free as you can challenge the exam.
Once you actually get nurse practitioner you can sit around six figures, so a very strong income to go with saving lives.
>>68296857
conservatives suffer from extreme retardation. most of them live in trashy neighborhoods in the bumfuck south and blame everyone but themselves for their problems. I lived in a white trash neighborhood and I can honestly say I really wish a nuke would wipe those birdshitskin fuckers out.
Thats why they band together on pol. this board seems to be a safe space for retardation
Daily reminder that most of /pol/ are weenies like Wade Michael Page with little to no knowledge of how the world works. Seldom will you find a discussion here that doesn't include genocide, rape, or hatred.
